Hon. Fred H. Dominick, congress-,
man from the Third congressional dis- |
trict, w.ho was in the city toda has
been prominently mentioned as a can i
didate for governor on the Rerorm (
platform next summer. He seated today
that he would not be in the race; '
that he would be a candidate for re- (
election to his seat in congress. Con-1
gressman Dominick has been at home
for several days on account of au- (
journments from day to da in the
national house of representatives. He j,
said that his decision not to run for j,
4
governor next year was final; that ne j.
n.-Qe ncinc Vile hpfif pndeavors to reD-!
? A
resent the people of his district in the
national congress, and that he would -.
go before them again next year as a '
candidate for re-election to the same
position. "14> appreciate the complt- (
ment which my friends have paid me," ,
he said, "in urging that I be a candidate
for governor next summer, but
I feel that my duty right now is in
congress, and-1 shall make an earnest
endeavor .to - carry out i:he policies
along the 'iine; of which I have steered
my course?during the short time i
have had the honor to represent the
Third district." ,
Political matters took shape rapid
ly in South Carolina today. The de-1
velopments including the announce- *
ments by former Governor Blease,
Congressman Dominick, Major Ricnards
and Attorney General Peepies
a3 to their attitude in connection with
the elections of 1918, go a long way
towards fixing definitely the political |
status.

correspondent of The Charleston
American what he expected to -do
in regard to the campaign of 1918. an-1 '
as to whether or not he Would .be s.

Former Governor's Statement !

"I feel, and have felt for some time
that it was my duty to make a positive
announcement in reference to
politics, but I have refrained from doing
so at the request of' some of my
friends; but I feel now that the time
has arrived when our party should
know what they are to expect. Fop (
that reason, in answer to your inquiry
I will say that it was my life's ambition
to be governor of South Carolina,
and when I had served my four years,
I had no fcsr&onal desire to hold any
other office, uflioss it should be in the
service of my people, ill owe who know
me best know why I in the race
for governor in 1916?that it was not
to fulfill any personal ambitfou or to
satiate any personal desire. That's 13
no question about the fact that I w*4
nominated governor in 1916, and
that I broke two precedents?defeating ,
for the nomination for a second term |
the only man who has ever been de-j
feated for a second term in this state;
and winning for myself the nomma-1
tion for a third term, being the only
man who has ever been nominated tor
a third term in this state. He (my j
opponent) was saved from nis aereai j i
by corruption of the voters, and by a | (
debuach of the ballot and theft at ths | s
ballot ox, proof of which I have in (
my safe and which was offered to the j <
state Democratic executive committer. j ?
which refused to consider it. By the ' t
same means and manner I was roDbe^l t
of my honest victory. I said nothing, e
but submitted. He accepted what ft- t
knew to be a fraudulent victory, anl r
j today suffering from th<- t .Tc-1of t

ion in the politics; of this state. He J
was appointed railroad commissioner j
jy former Governor Ansel. He was
two years later elected to the posr-1
tion in the face of strong opposition I
md ' has served continuously since :
with ability and impartiality. In the.
campaign of 1914 he was the popular
leader of the masses so far /as the J
gubernatorial campaign was concern- j
*d, vut was defeated by a combination !
of vircumstances which "the people of
South Carolina now recognize without >
again being called to their attention, j
He is not a candidate, self-annaunced j

coming from members of the Rerorm ;

Attorney General Thomas H. Pee

candidacv for governor in the demot

a direct question as to whether or |
not he would make the race. Among j

constitution amendment to provide'
for a recall' of state officials and bien-.
nial sessions of -the general assembly.
State officials can now only be rem or-1
ed by impeachment proceedings, and
with biennial sessions it is the opinion t
af Mr. Peeples that the two years in- j
tervening between legislative sittings !
would be too long a period for siace '
officials not to b* responsible to any-j
Dne with control over them for the?r:

"T no n nnt 9n?wer that Question JH

"While I hold no brief for the man ,
who was opposed ot war, I certainly I
have no controversy with him if ne J
will throw his shoulder to tne wneel m
and with might and main bring this 8
war to a speedy and victorious close.
Wars are the natural and logical re- ^
suit of centralized government. Thera ' t
is but one perfect statesman, ana
that is he who created all things ana
has knowledge of all of laws whereby
the creation is operative. Only
one form of government has been laid
down by God for mankind to follow.
That fnrm of sovernment is a gov
ernment whrreby w are all governed.

fundamental provision of our consu- fl
tution is null and void. ^||
For years the agricultural and laboring
classes of this country havo 1
felt keenly that they have not a con- ij
trolling influence in the affairs ot
government. When they desired constructive
economy they have, through
their committess, pleaded with tn*
legislatui, of this state. These j
thoughts have crystallized in concrete J
form in the northwestern states, and m
five of these states have largely passed
under the influence of the agrlcul- M
tural and laboring classes. These A
forces are crystallizing and are loo*- /flfl
ing for some one to lead them. rr fl9
they should demand my services they V
most assuredly have them. If in
their opinion they should find a i
stronger and better man, then it will .

Hope and belief was expressed by M

riot in which as many as a dozen people

emphasized,, may be repeated at

Houston," Governor Manning said. M
"demonstrates forcefully to my mind Jj
the unwisdom of having bi-racial
camps."
"The people of the South, particti- 1
larly South Carolina, desire and in-' W
sist that the negro be fairly treated
and that he receive justice,4* the chief
executive said, "but in any arrange
ment for the placing of troops recall

be an ever present menace?a menace
which might blaze Ulto open race ? l
